Novak Djokovic is now training legally in Marbella and is out on the track
World No.1 Novak Djokovic is already back to training and was seen out on the track at the Puente Romano Club in Marbella on Monday.
The Serb could be seen taking his training to the next level as Covid-19 de-escalation continues in Marbella, a town in Malaga, Spain. Djokovic, however, has done all this legally with the rules on his side.
Djokovic’s recent training activity at the club was reported by the newspaper Sur. The player even posted the video of himself shirtless training on his Instagram account with the caption: “100x double jump rope challenge”.
The 17-time Grand Slam winner had earlier caught himself in an impasse after training with Spanish tennis player Carlos Gómez Herrera at the same facility with the permission of the club.
The event occurred just two weeks back due to a misinterpretation of the rules in force during phase 0 by the Puente Romano Club. The club thought that they could the World No.1 to play on one of its tracks.
It became worse when Djokovic uploaded his activities on his social media networks with the Puente Romano having to issue a statement acknowledging his error. They also assured that the player would not train there again until allowed by health authorities.
However, with Malaga now going into phase 1 de-escalation after the announcement of the new zones by the Spanish government on Friday, Djokovic’s was once again seen training.
With the new orders from the Ministry of Health on his side (individual training is allowed in private sports facilities) Djokovic’s activities are now completely legal.
The Serbian is still undergoing his self-isolation in a mansion of his property in La Zagaleta, Malaga. However, he has been keeping himself in shape.
Djokovic was seen with Carlos Gómez, a friend of his brother Marko, who works with Pepe Imaz in Puente Romano.
